She is, of course, referencing the famous 13-year-old lion who was killed earlier this year by an American dentist, after being lured out of the protected land he lived on. Though many of Ashley’s followers voiced their approval at her attire, others were not so happy that she was seemingly trivializing the death of the big cat, saying things like “How dare you make fun of a lion who innocently died from an inhuman act!”

Ashley quickly edited her post, omitting Cecil’s name, and only describing the costume as being a “lion” — no specificity attached. In fact, though, Ashley wasn’t even wearing Yandy’s Cecil the Lion costume, which is similar to the one Ashley was wearing, except instead of full-length pants it features a leotard bottom. According to their site, 20% of proceeds from the costume of to the Global Conservation Organization, but that doesn't really make it any more tasteful.

Though we're unclear whether Ash made the edit because of the backlash, or because it wasn’t actually the right costume, one thing's for certain. Picking a Halloween costume is just as hard when you're a celebrity.
